The Trio That Helps Cover My Dark Circles and Brighten The Under Eye Area

Three products I’m currently loving to cover up my dark circles and brighten the under eye area when I’m in hurry and want something super quick! Burberry Cashmere Concealer ($40; sephora.com) is my current favorite concealer. I use the shade Honey No. 04, which is very brightening and has medium coverage. It doesn’t cake as much as other creamy concealers and blends beautifully without setting onto creases. It wears pretty well through the day - no fading or feathering and the formula blends well with fingers and a brush. My only qualm though is that it starts to dry pretty quickly, so you’d have to work sooner than most concealers. Other than that, I love it! To set the Burberry Cashmere Concealer, I use the Laura Mercier Translucent Loose Powder ($38; sephora.com) with the Wayne Goss Air Brush ($35; beautylish.com; no longer available). The Laura Mercier powder is fantastic for the entire face and doesn’t look too powdery once it sets and keeps makeup looking fresh. The shade is a universal beige-yellow that is quite neutral when used over foundation/tinted moisturizers and the Wayne Goss Air Brush is the perfect sized brush to powder smaller areas like the under eyes and is super duper soft! Again, I’m not one looking at super heavy, 100% coverage, so this is still sheer and you can still see some of the pigmentation showing through, but I don’ mind that. The Burberry Concealer is very buildable though, so if you like heavier coverage, build away!
